Under God’s Wing
Occasionally, we’re faced with challenges that help us grow a more stable, stronger sense of self and spirit.
The assertion that the Bible is not entirely perfect is blasphemous to some. Some see flaws.
God deserves all the Glory for everything… including the “glorious” works from us. God has His “hands” in everything. He’s been helping each of us from before we were born. Our ‘eyes’ (minds) are just not always open… because we tend to focus on ourselves.
Bible worshiping is wrong. Bible referencing and God worshipping is perfect. Putting weight on words from God and simply appreciating, in context of being human, the Bible writer’s own words. Letting the Bible writers’ work frame but not dictate to us outside their quoting of God’s Thoughts and Words. ALL of us fully humans are subject to imperfection. Especially in our thinkings. As we ‘row our boats to shore’, we’re not always perfectly in sync with God’s Spirit. Because we’re human.
Hopefully, we WILL be perfectly in sync with God someday!
Logic and common sense tells us that we’re mistaken if we think any of the Bible canonization figures and writers were always perfect. Only God’s thoughts and the quotes of Jesus are perfect. The disciples remembered Jesus’s spiritual words because they received help from the Spirit. But there’s also their own vulnerable emotions, flaws, and perceptions at work independent of the Spirit.
God’s message is simply to love one another. We’ve placed Holy attributes where they don’t belong on imperfect humans. God’s Message to love is simple. Our spirit (emotion) is not.
Where do we go from here
Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John wrote, “Whoever believes in (Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
Jesus was reassuring the disciples that he was reflecting God. They were shaken and scared. They thought Jesus was going to physically take command of EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.
But Jesus had just told them that He was going to die. Jesus wasn’t dictating policy, He was serving His disciples and telling us that He and God are One.
Jesus, in his ministry, showed us how to think and behave. He wasn’t preaching that we would go to hell if we didn’t believe in him. Some people think and behave like Jesus without knowing or believing in Christ. Jesus said we would not know who is allowed to come to the Father. The least of us would be first.
John was dictating policy. John, in essence, wrote that even if we think and behave like Christ but don’t believe in him we are condemned. That doesn’t sound like something Jesus would say or do to us. Jesus loves us. John loved us but he was in emotional pain over his best friend’s death. And John knew who killed Jesus and why. John’s words are probably directed toward the Sanhedrin.
Satan preys on our negative emotions when our spirit is low. He simply wants us under his domain, which is hate. God’s domain is Love.
Truth should be based on empirical evidence not “glory” for fully humans. Glory and worship belongs to God only.
“Don’t shoot the messenger”, but don’t glorify the messenger either.
Satan’s been after us from his beginning. We know he’s crafty. And we know we’re all vulnerable from time to time because we’re fully human.
We can get a clear message through communion with God that His plan for us is a lot less complicated than we are.
So who will make the cut to Heaven?
Certainly those that LOVE believing Jesus as their savior… but what about those that LOVE not knowing or believing in Christ.
Loving God (Nature), others, and ourselves is the Message Satan has distorted, creating division among us using our pride and passion as a weapon.
Love unifies us and dissolves division’s hate. Jesus was teaching… Love, Truth and Peace. He wasn’t teaching us to separate with our different doctrines and religions. Jesus was teaching us to love one another, unconditionally.
Satan successfully added conditions. And we fell for it. Because we’re self-ish and want to glorify ourselves. We do better to leave the Holy “pedestal” to God only.
In summary
We have separate doctrinal and religious divisions because we’re all subject to our own unique thoughts. We added our own complex messages to God’s single and simple message to love.
Us mere humans can only do the best we can and aren’t able to be perfect for more than a dream… Like when we’re occasionally stabilized under our Maker’s Wing.
